I haven't started loading for mine yet... in fact, haven't got one yet... but need to by spring, if MRS is going to start shooting CAS with me next year, & I'm going to pass down my 38 / 357

I'm hoping to just use my revolver loads...

But I also have a load I hunt deer with, with a 10" Contender... don't remember the load off the top of my head, but it makes my trigger knuckle bleed by the 5th or 6th shot...

I'd look at the Contender load book, & pick one of the slower burn rate powders to optimize the performance out of the longer barrel of the rifle...

( unless you are also shooting 45 Colt in a revolver... in which case find a load that shoots well in both... may need to adjust your COL to work most smoothly in your rifle )
